The latest in architecture
It’s unusual to come across a project where the role of client, architect and builder are played by the same person, but architect Sarah Waller is an exception to the rule. Having carved a career designing and building houses for other people, a move from the UK to Australia offered her the opportunity to design […]
The wedge-shaped extension by Object Subject shows how an architect can answer a relatively simple brief for a residential add-on with a design that is delightful for its occupants and intriguing for lucky visitors. Contemporary single-storey renovations tend to follow a similar formula. Knock down the back of the house and add a seamless extension […]
In year five Simone Robeson was the co-founder of the make-believe Simone and Christine’s Architectural Company. Now, she is founder of the real-life Robeson Architects. Sara Kirby talks to her about how she took her childhood dream and made it a perfect reality. Some of us don’t work out our career paths and passions until […]
St Kilda-based architecture practices Grant Amon Architects and Brearley Architects and Urbanists have been announced as the winners of the Victorian Pride Centre design competition.

Built to replace an existing kiosk and change facility that no longer provided adequate service, the facility, which is positioned immediately behind the first dune formation, is […]
Conrad Architects has opened the doors to its new office premises in the Melbourne suburb of Cremorne, reimagining a raw commercial building as a creative workspace that reflects the practice’s considered methodology and its director’s reverence for fine art. With architect becoming client, the project provided an opportunity to realise an uncompromised vision. Embracing the […]
Building has been completed on a Fender Katsalidis-designed luxury apartment tower, marking the first time an inner-city residential development has been built on private parklands in Melbourne. Aptly named Parque, the building sits on 6,000 square metres of parkland along the heritage protected St Kilda Road precinct, next to Fawkner Park. Its location led to […]
When it comes to design, landscape architect and garden designer Nathan Burkett, along with architect Dan Webster are “constantly pushing the boundaries”. It makes sense then that their shared studio had to share that same ethos. The duo enlisted interior stylist Simone Haag to work with them on the design of their Hawthorn, Melbourne office […]
Faced with the constraints of a very small inner city site with an unfavourable orientation, Sibling designed a house that’s part residential façade, part Swiss Army knife. The Veil house by Melbourne architecture collective Sibling is a truly small-scale intervention. Located among the Victorian terrace houses of Melbourne’s inner north, its design is centred on […]
The Coppin Street apartments, dubbed the “Richmond six-pack”, reinterpret the 60s era, predominantly three-storey, brick apartments dispersed throughout inner Melbourne. Richmond, to the east of the Melbourne CBD and adjacent to significant parkland and sporting precincts, is undergoing considerable urban transformation through large-scale residential developments along major transport links. This project site, however, is set […]
